BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox today reinstated right-handed pitcher Chris Martin from the 15-Day Injured List. To make room for Martin on the active roster, the club optioned right-handed pitcher Kaleb Ort to Triple-A Worcester following yesterday’s game.

Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.

Martin, 36, was placed on the 15-Day Injured List on April 16 (retroactive to April 13) with right shoulder inflammation. The right-hander made a rehab appearance for Worcester on Friday, pitching the sixth inning and allowing two hits and two unearned runs. The Texas native has allowed two runs in 7.0 innings pitched across seven outings with the Red Sox this season, his first games with the club. He was signed by Boston as a free agent on December 8, 2022.

Ort, 31, has posted a 7.30 ERA (10 ER/12.1 IP) in 12 outings this season after making his first career Opening Day roster. The right-hander owns a 6.59 ERA (30 ER/41.0 IP) in 38 career appearances, all with Boston (2021-23). He was selected by the Red Sox in the Triple-A phase of the 2020 Rule 5 Draft from the New York Yankees.
